Coconut Snowballs

1 c coconut (I use 50-50 sweetened-unsweetened) 
1 c flour
1 1/4 c powdered sugar (1/4 c only for dough)
Pinch salt
6 T butter, softened
1 t vanilla extract
4 t milk

Grind 1/2 c coconut in food processor. Chop remaining coconut and set aside.
Add flour, 1/4 c powdered sugar, and salt to food processor. Pulse to blend. Add butter and vanilla. Pulse until dough comes together.

Heat oven to 350F. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 15 minutes (firm but pale). Cool completely.

Stir together remaining 1 c powdered sugar and milk to form a thick glaze. Dip cookies in glaze then roll in chopped coconut. Set aside to dry.

Makes 2 dozen. Prep 10 minutes, bake
